Highbay Walls

Introduction:

Steel Framings System High Bay Walling offers a high-performance lightweight stud partition system that in certain circumstances can achieve an internal wall construction up to 20m high in a single span. In most circumstances these walls fit to the underside of a roof construction and provide a high level of fire and sound performance from each side of the wall.

Challenges & Attention to Details:

• Often, these walls are constructed up to the underside of the roof structure, consideration should be made on calculating the deflection allowance required, so that a site-specific detail can be designed and constructed.
• Abutments to external walls.
• Where walls are fire rated, consideration needs to be given as to how the likes of roof purlins/joists & potential also at the wall abutments to a portal frame building are protected. Most likely these will need a drywall encasement system built out a substantial distance each side of the wall face, usually determined by building control.
• Any penetrations that pass through the wall may also required fire protection measures extending out from the face of the wall.
• Working safely at height, in most cases MEWPS can be used, but in certain circumstances may need specially designed access solutions.

Benefits:

• Rapid form of construction compared to masonry systems.
• Heights of up to 20m achievable.
• Up to 2hrs fire performance.
• High level of acoustic performance.
• Fully warrantied design offered for High Bay Wall.
